Is there any particular one you would suggest?  Have you tried newer
OpenSSL versions with the same set of patches and build system?

That was my first thought, but I did find that libz.so does exist for
MIPS with android-9 and android-14 - there is some more subtle issue.
I'm going to try the new NDK they just released.

Anyhow, I've created a very convenient wrapper script and Android.mk
file for deploying this OpenSSL code as a prebuilt library:

This works fine for armeabi, armeabi-v7a and x86
